Here’s what 5 billion barrels of oil could do

Located 120 miles offshore Guyana, the 6.6 million-acre Stabroek Block holds exciting exploration and development potential. With commercial production expected to begin in 2020, the block will help supply the world’s growing energy needs.

In early December 2018, ExxonMobil increased the estimated recoverable resource for the Stabroek Block to more than 5 billion oil-equivalent barrels from the previous estimate of more than 4 billion. The new estimate is a result of further evaluation of previous discoveries and includes a new discovery at the Pluma-1 well. We’ve updated our infographic to show all the things more than 5 billion barrels of oil could power.
